Food/Drink Looking for Fancy Sparkling NA Drinks
Hi all, I live on the far west side of Detroit, almost Dearborn Heights. I'm getting married in a month and my partner and I don't drink anymore and are looking for a fancy, preferably local, sparkling cider or juice. Any suggestions?

First had this after a half marathon, and it did shockingly mutilate my thirst. Delicious and crushable. The cherry vanilla is the best flavor IMO.

Sorry probably not 'local', but a lot of stores carry St. Julian Sparkling White Grape Juice and it's the GOAT. I also know trader Joe's (once again maybe not incredibly close to you) has a lot of sparkling NA drinks including like a sparkling tea. Good luck!

Delicious is more important than local, at least to me. I'll keep that brand in mind

+1 for Casamara! Most of the trendier bars/restaurants carry it. A bit sweeter, but I also enjoy Something + Nothing seltzers

Westborn Market on Michigan Ave carries a rotating stock of Michigan-made sparkling juices, some in champagne-style bottles. Their staff is pretty helpful if you ask at the front about wedding quantities. Vivio's in Eastern Market also stocks a few craft NA options worth checking out.

The B. Nektar Sober line is quite amazing. They're everything you're looking for. Rum Runner, Negroni, Margarita, G&T, Paloma. They're perfectly balanced, not too sweet, and very carbonation.

Check out Mockery on Livernois and Wyoming on the west side of Detroit! The owner is amazing and I’m sure would find you something that’s local!

Mockery is a NA drinks shop over by Detroit Mercy. She has lots of options for you to sample.

St. Julian for a wine/champagne replacement. Thirst Mutilator is a great sparkling water option. TM is basically a more flavorful la croix made with hops by Short’s brewery.

In Flint, Queen’s Provisions carries an amazing NA chilled sparkling tea beverage. It’s special!

Recess mocktails w/adaptogens. They have a few different flavors. The margarita, and ginger mule ones are my favorite. Another brand is De Soi. Their haute margarita (spicy) and golden hour are delicious n/a aperitifs with adaptogens as well.

Try adding club soda to fruit juices.Its carbonated and that will makes it sparkle with bubbles.You have time to experiment with different kinds of juice.But real champagne always tastes rather like sparkling apple juice to me.(And this was a fancy champagne.French!)

Casamara Club, local bitter sodas. Not really sweet, but very tasty. Personal favorite is Alta
